Used Tretinoin? Rate It:
Cons:
Slight dryness, possibility of bad IB (but not for me)
Pros:
Finally, something that works! Retin-A Micro Gel 0.04% pump. Makes skin so bright/glow, smooth and Acne free!
Cons:
Skin can get a little flaky but a gentle scrub eliviates that. Initial breakout but after 2 1/2 - 3 months skin is sooooo much better!
Pros:
Smoother looking skin. Dries pimples and brings them & tiny bumps to surface right away.
Cons:
Dented scars! Yes, ur not imagining, I got them too! I don't have space below, so will share this here: please look into the blue light which has a thread on acne.org [www.acne.org/messageboard/here-415nm-Enlux-LED-t156864.html]; very surprising promising fast results by all who bought it after one person reported excellent results. He has his own home light which is the strong one supported by research & the cost is cheap rather than the expensv lower level ones at spa [I'm thinking of buying

takes along time to work, IB is terrible

-Makes my eyelids a little red and irritated (although most acne products do that to me at first so I guess I really can't complain)
Pros:
-Did wonders for reducing hyperpigmentation
-Skin is more smooth & firm
Cons:
-First few weeks of inital breakout/redness can be very frusterating
-Must be extremely careful not to overuse it
Pros:
Cleared my acne the first 5 months
Reduced red marks and scarring (though they were caused by the severe breakouts from tretinoin)

Price
Pros:
Took a long time, but finally cleared my skin.
Improves skin tone and overall texture.
Creates scars, but fades them as well.
Cons:
The initial breakout/purging stage is not fun.
It took awhile to see any improvement.
Pros:
Having used Retin-A 0.01% Gel for a week now, I have been startled at the speed of my recovery. Other than a couple of new pimples, my skin tone has improved, existing pimples have dried out and my skin is generally improved. I have experienced no redness, however dryness around my mouth/chin area is present, but this is alleviated with moisturiser.
